This "softness" you speak of only begun when spoiled brat "fans" such as yourself bombarded these forums with whining threads that have no substance or valid arguments behind them.
It appears that your kind of posters are allergic to people who don't hate Pop, Manu, or TP.
None of us EVER said these 3 guys were perfect in the finals. But you guys act like if they don't play 7 games of perfection, they deserve to be harshly criticized. The fact of the matter is, we were seconds away from a finals victory. Losing sucks, but it doesn't mean our team is incompetent or that we need to whine and complain about particular individuals who we would NOT have been able to get this far without.
How about you stop calling out people who APPRECIATE how well our team did this season, and maybe take some notes on how to be a fan. I would much rather be seconds away from a championship than losing in the conference finals or earlier, tbh.
